Serious flaw (Solved)
One serious flaw in Hellraiser 3 is the Boiler Room club scene when Pinhead kills everyone in the club... the problem is that Pinhead by rule only comes for those who open the box, and never kills the innocent... the scene in the club seems to break all the carefully laid out rules of the Hellraiser mythology, and effectively reduces Pinhead down to a supernatural psychotic who lacks the nuance and subtlety and depth of perverted ethics we learned to love from the last two films... remember, he doesn't kill the girl in part 2 saying, "It is not hands that summon us. It is desire." and this was also carefully laid out in part 1 as well.. the boiler room scene in part 3 was simply the new film makers getting bored and wanting to throw in more gore for gore's sake... that's it. It really has nothing to do with the story, and actually hurts the overall quality of the film imho.
